Chapter 26 the speeches
Dr. Kem had gotten up on stage in front of the microphone; she cleared her throat to get every ones attention. " Welcome all of you to Harbour high's class of 2005 20 year reunion, for most of you this has been the first time in twenty years that you have seen each other since you left our school, for others you have kept in touch, one way or another over the years, tonight is a night were you have been able to catch up with old friends, as you may recall in your letter we asked you to bring some photos so that we could see what you have been up to these photos will be given back to you at the end of tonight. So here it is, ladies and gentle man, family and friends, the class of 2005.
The slides started to pass by with every slide there was a caption. When it finally came from to the Fab four, there was a photo of the four of them sitting in the student lounge, the caption the fabulous four. As the slides past songs started to play, songs from when they were teens. Nothing like what their kids, listened to. These were songs from Death Cab For Cutie, The Killers, A.C Newman, and JEM along with other songs from when they were teens. As the slide show finished Dr. Kem appeared back on stage. "That was lovely to see thank you all for allowing that to happen. Now I think it is time we had a word from the class rep of 2005." She said looking at Summer. Summer shock her head no one had told her about this, what was she going to say. No she was going to stay put. "Come one Sum just a 'look-how-far-we've-come' speech and it can be as short as you want it to be" said Seth. Summer turned around and looked up at him, "ok but just a quick one." She said, as she walked up on to the stage she remembered what she had said on their last day of school.
flash back
"This year's senior class has showed us that even through the trials and tribulations of high school life that we can come together and help each other no matter what happens. To the friends and families of our graduating students, I would like to say on behalf of the students, thank you for all you help through out their years of schooling. It has been a rough ride but you can now rest, knowing that they have grown into mature young adults. To the students congratulations to all of you and on behalf of the students and staff at Harbour high we wish all the best in life stay safe and live life like there's no tomorrow. I now call up your chosen class rep to say a few words. Summer Roberts" said Dr Kem to an audience of students, family, friends and staff. Summer got up out of her chair and walked up onto the stage. She looked out at her fellow students. " I had a speech prepared for this but now I think of it, none of it would be right. Our school has a very divers range of students, from those who enjoy sports to the students who no one knows. Through out my time here I have changed, I was once one of these people who thought that fashion and my rep were the most important things ever, but the events of the last few years have showed me and serval others that it is the friendships we have that are most important if we do not have friends what do we have? We have a life that is worthless. To have friends is life's greatest achievement. So I say to all of you sitting in front of me, make friendships and keep them for with out them we are nothing. To my fellow graduates, well guys we made it we are finally here the last day of school can you believe it. Most of us came through unscathed, and we all will leave here with fond memories. I wish you all the best in your lives and hope that all you dreams come true, dream big guys for when you dream only then can you set out to achieve them. Thanks go to our parents whom with out none of us would be here today for they are the people who helped us in our darkest hours when we needed them most they were there thank you. And one final thank you to the staff of Harbour thank you, for all you have done for us, with out you none of us would be the people we are today thank you; And we would like to give you this gift of a check for one hundred thousand dollars to use for what ever you wish." Said Summer she smiled as Dr Kem came forward to receive the check. " thank you all once again and to the class of 05 LETS PARTY" said Summer leaving the stage.
"so its been twenty years since I last was speaking to you all, and we have lost some of our class mates along the way, lets all take a moment to remember those who are no longer with us" said Summer she paused to let every one remember those who had died.
" well unlike then I had nothing prepared so I'm just going to keep it short, for a lot of us these past twenty years have been, a test of character, but I look at you all now and I can still see parts of the people you were back then, some of us have not changed some of us have. To all of you who made it here tonight I have one thing left to say to you, spend the rest of this night getting to know the people your friends have become, and keep them close to you don't make the same mistakes by letting them out of your life again. Thank you and good night."
